Players you like that aren't wearing the Rockets uniform

Since we're all die-hard fans and don't really talk about other teams, let's hear it folks.
Anthony Davis: Lanky, super athletic and just really fund to watch. He gets injured a lot, and as a result, his game is evolving. The guy has a jumper and range to add to his offensive repertoire. I'd argue that he's possibly one of best offensive players in the league. His defense gets underrated.
Kyrie Irving: I have grown to hate ISOs over the years, including some Harden ISOs, which is why I appreciate having CP3 on the roster to tone things down. But you watch Irving play, and he's pound-per-pound the best isolation player in the recent decade. Best ball handler ever, and has a ton of craft off the dribble. Yeah, super fun to watch.
Ben Simmons: Still needs to develop his jumper, but kid has the size and coordination to do everything on the court. One day this kid may average a triple double. Fascinating player.
Domantas Sabonis: I absolutely loved his father play in the NBA, even when he came over past his prime. No other great reason to root for him. He certainly isn't one of those guys who boasts about his lineage and seeks attention (whether it's the father or the son). Seems to have great work ethic, so I definitely wish him the best.
Giannis Antekumpo (sp?): Reminds me of T-Mac of the Orlando Magic with less offensive arsenal, but better defense and more hustle. Incredible humble for his talent, and he gives great interviews.

Kyrie, Lebron, Mike Conley, Marc Gasol, Simmons, Wall, Westbrook just to name a few.
Also can't forget Patrick Beverley.

Nice list. John Wall is another guy I enjoy watching. Dude's a wizard with the ball.

He's a wizard indeed. I enjoy watching Simmons the most out of your list. His game is just so smooth. That sixers duo has the most upside out of any other duo in the league imo (besides the obvious Curry/Durant & Harden/Paul).

Porzingod, Kyrie and wall
After watching Simmons live he may be my favorite player not on the rockets, though

Forgot about the Unicorn, the most athletic 7'0''+ player we have ever seen imo. It's crazy how well he moves, dude was supposed to be the next Shawn Bradley coming out of the draft.

Well, I like that he isn't wearing a Rockets uniform anymore, if that counts.
Seriously though, these days I only watch the Rockets and couldn't care less about any other teams or players, but I still have a spot in my heart for Beverly and Dekker.

I know I'm not supposed to say this, but I could watch Stephen Curry do crazy things leading into crazy 3 pointers all day long.
I'm amazed that LeBron is still almost the same the physical force of nature he was at 24 at 33. He's almost surpassing being Hakeem/Malone/Jordan/Wilkens/Willis-esque in terms of athleticism at this point.
Hakeem maybe had the greatest extended prime of any offensive superstar. It'll be interesting to see how LeBron can measure up to that.

Beverly doesn't count! He will always be a rocket at heart

I'll try to stray from stating the obvious and go with Tim Hardaway Jr. He's still young, but he has an insane amount of talent. When he's on, he's ON. Fun stuff to watch.

Manu Ginobili, Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving. Exactly in this order.

It really, truly pains me to say this, but I really like what I've seen from that Donovan Mitchell kid for Utah.
Now I need to take a long shower that won't help me not feel unclean.
